We cover our heads because physiologically, the majority of the body's energy escapes through the head. The top center of the head, which is the crown chakra, is a focal point of energy. When we are in the presence of the Guru, Guru is giving us energy. That energy is sacred and when we retain it, Guru's energy lives in us and that gives us the living experience of Guru. To help retain that energy we cover our heads. That is also why we don't cut our hair. Hair draws energy from the sun and acts as an antenna to the environment, giving us greater sensitivity and intuitiveness. When we tie our hair on top of our head, and cover it with a turban, that energy becomes focused, giving us the power of penetrating projection.
